"……"

Wang Jiannan glanced at the screen before replying.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

After a beat, he slowly shook his head, his tone filled with emotion.

"I don't understand it either…

Logically, for someone like Li Ziyu to take down a Level 1 High-Grade fierce beast as if slicing through vegetables, it should be due to his own strength."

"But even someone who has awakened their Qi and Blood talent wouldn't possess strength comparable to a fierce beast."

"Yet, Li Ziyu managed it. There's only one possibility: he has already cultivated the 'Raging Ox Body Tempering Technique' given to him by the Martial Arts Association to its peak level."

"But from what I understand, it's only been four days since he obtained that Body Tempering Battle Skill."

"To cultivate a Body Tempering Battle Skill to its peak in four days? That's simply an impossible feat."

"So, I really don't know what's going on with Li Ziyu…"

"We'll just have to ask him after he comes out of the Martial Arts Examination venue."

"However, with the strength Li Ziyu has displayed, our Xujiang City might not only aim for a top ten spot in Su Province this year, but could even break into the top three!"

The mayor replied, a look of excitement on his face.

There was an uncontainable thrill in his eyes.

Actually, there was one more thing he didn't say.

Perhaps… Li Ziyu could not only break into the top three in Su Province.

He might even be in the top three nationally!

But he kept that thought to himself, as it was too unbelievable.

Top three nationally.

Let alone Xujiang City, even the entire Su Province hadn't produced a candidate in the national top three for decades.

"Huh? Why isn't Li Ziyu hunting fierce beasts anymore? Where is he heading?"

"And Nangong Ao, Wang Long, and Xia Lin, where are they preparing to go?"

At this moment, the playback ended, and the screen returned to displaying the real-time footage of the examination venue.

Secretary Wang's voice, filled with confusion, sounded out.

Wang Jiannan looked at the figures of the individuals moving across the screen, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

After a moment.

His eyes widened abruptly.

He leaned forward suddenly, resting both hands on the console in front of the live broadcast screen.

He stared intently at the figures on the screen.

Then, he abruptly turned his head to look at Secretary Wang next to him, commanding him in an almost shouting voice:

"Quick! Immediately contact the rescue team in the examination venue and tell them to proceed to the central area, coordinate X11, at once!"

"Li Ziyu and Nangong Ao are going to hunt that Level 2 fierce beast, the Bloody Rampage Bear!"

"What!? Hunt that Level 2 fierce beast, the Bloody Rampage Bear? Alright! I'll arrange a rescue team right away!"

"Nonsense! That Level 2 fierce beast is absolutely not something they can handle!"

"I hope they don't act rashly."

The several principals also reacted, their faces filled with anxiety as they slapped their thighs.

The gap between a Level 1 fierce beast and a Level 2 fierce beast, though only a single word difference, represented a vast gulf in strength.

Even ten Level 1 peak fierce beasts attacking together wouldn't be enough to even gnaw on the teeth of a single Level 2 low-grade fierce beast.

The reason a Level 2 fierce beast was placed in the exam venue was merely for show.

To place an insurmountable beast for the candidates to face, serving as a reminder that there are always stronger beings out there, and that one must always approach fierce beasts with caution and trepidation.

Frankly speaking, it was just a mascot, not meant to be killed by the candidates at all.

Of course, it wasn't entirely impossible for certain monstrous prodigies to challenge opponents beyond their level.

But that was something for resource-rich and educationally advanced cities like the capital and Shanghai to consider.

With the limitations imposed by their inherent conditions, this was not something a small place like their Xujiang City could even think about.

That's why, when Li Ziyu was heading towards the very center of the central area, they, due to their ingrained way of thinking, hadn't reacted immediately.

Now, they were anxiously slapping their thighs.

Wang Jiannan ignored the commotion around him, his expression returning to calm.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

However, his tightly clenched fist conveyed his current emotions.

"I just hope they're only curious enough to check it out and don't actually try anything!"

At the very center of the Martial Arts Examination's restricted zone.

A cleared plaza.

Li Ziyu stood at the edge of the plaza, silently watching the center.

There, a figure clad in golden battle attire stood holding a magnificent longsword.

It was Nangong Ao, who had arrived before him.

However, Li Ziyu's attention wasn't on Nangong Ao, but rather on the plaza center several hundred meters away.

There was a massive iron cage.

Inside the cage, a blood-red figure, like a main battle tank, lay sprawled.

The figure's eyes were closed as if asleep, its body rising and falling.

With each breath, two streams of white mist, as thick as crude white air currents, erupted from its nostrils, blowing dust and smoke all around.

"Level 2 Fierce Beast, Bloody Rampage Bear."

Li Ziyu gazed at the Bloody Rampage Bear.

Roughly estimating, its body length was at least 8 meters, comparable in size to two polar bears.

From a distance, Li Ziyu could feel the terrifying power emanating from the Bloody Rampage Bear.

Compared to this Bloody Rampage Bear, even the Level 1 peak fierce beast Arm Blade Tiger he had encountered before seemed as weak as a toddler.

He estimated that if the two fought, the Arm Blade Tiger wouldn't even last a single swipe from the Bloody Rampage Bear.

"I have to admit, despite Nangong Ao's arrogance, his suicidal spirit is truly admirable."

Li Ziyu watched Nangong Ao slowly approach the cage holding the Bloody Rampage Bear, clicking his tongue in admiration.

On the ground in front of the cage was a red button. As soon as it was pressed, the Bloody Rampage Bear would be released.

Nangong Ao had already reached the button.

"I don't have a habit of fighting over monsters. Since Nangong Ao got here first, let him have his turn."

Li Ziyu crossed his arms, leisurely preparing to watch Nangong Ao's performance.

"Damn! Holy crap! Is that a Level 2 Fierce Beast, the Bloody Rampage Bear? Its aura, its size... it's way beyond the norm! Is this something we can actually handle??"

Just then, Wang Long also arrived from elsewhere.

He first curiously glanced at Li Ziyu, who stood a few hundred meters away, then his gaze was drawn to the Bloody Rampage Bear in the center of the field.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the Bloody Rampage Bear, which, even while lying there asleep, gave him a bone-chilling feeling.

"Damn! I was thinking of trying out the strength of a Level 2 fierce beast, but now that idea seems like pure suicide."

"But Nangong Ao is seriously brave, actually preparing to fight a fierce beast of this caliber?"

Wang Long looked at Nangong Ao, who was already at the edge of the cage, with great admiration.

Bai Haoran also arrived, standing next to Wang Long.

However, his attention remained fixed on Li Ziyu.

At this moment, Li Ziyu was wearing a black combat suit, a Greatsword at his waist, his posture upright, his expression calm and unruffled.

Even though he was just standing there, motionless, he gave Bai Haoran the feeling of facing a towering mountain, exuding pressure and a sense of weight.

This made Bai Haoran feel a chill and a deep sense of despair.

Just standing there made him feel utterly powerless.

Just how strong was Li Ziyu?

"Fellow student Li Ziyu, do you also intend to hunt this Level 2 fierce beast?"

As Li Ziyu observed, Xia Lin's voice came from behind him.

Li Ziyu turned his head.

He saw Xia Lin, clad in a tight-fitting combat suit, her figure curvaceous, standing behind him.

With a solemn expression as she looked at the Bloody Rampage Bear in the plaza, she spoke to him:

"Fellow student Li Ziyu, with your current points, you have more than enough to get into any of those four top-tier high schools."

"It's best not to take any risks. This Level 2 fierce beast is not something we can handle."

Upon hearing this, Li Ziyu smiled and didn't answer directly.

"Let's just watch for now."
